School Business: 

Maturation during the day:  Overall success. A few parents complained about having to take off work to come and also how a lot of kids were there unaccompanied by their parents so they were a little misbehaved. 

White Ribbon Week: Thank you Betsy Perry. Teachers loved it during the day and how the kids could get stuff. 

FYI: 180ish Powerades left. Maybe use for field day volunteers. 

Amy McMullin: Field trip season. Thank you for the extra $$$

PTC Dinners: We will have 3 student teachers and possibly 6 practicum teachers for the dinner. 

Kindergarten Orientation: We need 6 adults plus student leaders. There will be a volunteer sign-up sheet at Kindergarten Orientation for new parents coming in. 

Battle of the Books:  MCE PTA pays ½ and Midas Creek pays the other ½.  Heidi, Jenni & Nichole going to Butterfield Elementary on Monday, March 13th to watch 2 teams battle.  We could use Scholastics buck to buy books for this. For 3rd-6th graders. 

Day at the Capitol: Thanks to Heidi for attending.  PTA gave Lt. Governor a check in volunteer hours.  90hrs per person per parent volunteer in Utah. Thanks to our Legislators for last year: We got more $$$. 

Bike Rodeo: Is 10am or 11am better for bike rodeo?  Amy McMullin said 11am.  April 19th & 26th to hit all of the tracks.

Positions to Fill: Book Fair, Fun Run, Social Media

Business/Spirit Night Partnerships. Maybe have Fun Run Committee over the Spirit Nights since we don’t start Spirit Nights until after the Fun Run. 

Volunteers: Do we need a new way/system?  Maybe a phone tree? Have room mom outline?  Email teachers to give names of volunteers? Thinking of asking Carrie Twitchell to be over volunteers. 

 

Carolyn: 

PTC March 9th & 10th.  

Surveys due: March 18th. 320 turned in so far. 468 last year. Need at least 10 surveys per teacher. Going to advertise at PTC.
